Introductions discussion

Greetings everyone! It’s reassuring to realize I’m not the sole person who likes being confined. At least there is companionship. I’ve been using a cage for some time now, having originally started with the CB6000s. When I am slender, it fits well, but when I swell up, it expands significantly and arches upward. This expansion caused an issue for me because it constantly tugged my testicles downward, creating mild discomfort. Switching to the 6000 model improved things. However, a new annoyance has appeared. Wearing the 6000 continuously for seven days causes significant chafing at the glans of my penis. It turns red and feels quite uneasy. I cleanse it daily without removing the device and apply lube immediately after cleaning. The lubricant seems to hold up throughout the day. Currently, I am using Wet Platinum, which is the only silicone-based option available locally. Finding other alternatives here has been difficult, but aside from this irritation, everything else has gone smoothly. Has anyone experienced this? Should I just push through it? My goal is long-term locking, so this issue bothers me greatly! Any suggestions?
